Divine Emperor of Death

br> ”On the other hand… ” Ancestor Cornelia turned to look towards Shirley, ”Before I die, I want to make sure that the Burning Phoenix Ridge at least has a Peak-Level Ninth Stage Powerhouse like me.
I am also aware that this little girl possesses the potential to reach the Peak-Level Law Rune Stage, so why do you deign to even harm her, Little Reinhardt? ”

”Is the Death Laws of that mysterious elder that worth it? Are you looking down on your Burning Phoenix Flames? ”

Ancestor Cornelia ’s voice echoed with questions, seething with a sheer coldness that made the arrogant Ancestor Reinhardt Weiss trembled like anything.

Silence pervaded the hall as Ancestor Reinhardt Weiss shook his head like a child while Ancestor Cornelia smiled in response.

”You don ’t need to lie or be frightened.
The legendary Death Laws are indeed stronger than the Burning Phoenix Flames.
However, you ’re simply unworthy and inept at learning the intricacies of Death Laws that you won ’t be even needing that elder ’s secrets. ”

Ancestor Reinhardt Weiss trembled, knowing that his true intent behind the interrogation was easily seen through by this terrifying person.

Ancestor Cornelia raised her frail hand, extending her fingers.

”Do you know that the number of people who learned Death Laws in the two hundred and three thousand years I lived could be counted on a single hand? Right now, all of them are dead without a doubt, but without the same doubt, they all left their names marked in history as evil tyrants who destroyed countless sects and powers alike in the Fifty-Two Territories.
Their ability to snuff out the souls as soon as they got past the defenses struck fear into the hearts of many but… ”

”Are you trying to bring the Burning Phoenix Ridge to an end by wanting to offend that mysterious elder further? We don ’t even know if that person is truly alive or dead with his otherworldly secret arts.
If that mysterious elder simply wants to protect Shirley, is it really hard for you to work together when our intent should be the same? ”

”I ’m disappointed, Little Reinhardt.
I dislike humans who scheme all day long~ ”

Ancestor Cornelia ’s voice became colder by the second.
It induced a bone-chilling fear in Ancestor Reinhardt Weiss that he lowered his head again, not daring to raise it up while he felt immensely humiliated in front of the two disciples.
However, the terror was more that he didn ’t seem to bother about the humiliation because he knew what kind of character Ancestor Cornelia was.

She was the sole guardian who kept their Burning Phoenix Ridge alive and well until this point from the moment she had become a Peak-Level Emperor Beast Stage Magical Beast.
It was unknown how many calamities she had saved the sect from when they, the Ancestors, were unable to battle the stronger invading enemies from the wicked path.

She was equally ruthless as she was gentle, and he had even heard tales about how she had killed two Ancestors who were at High-Level Law Rune Stage like him.

One of the two was killed more than a hundred thousand years ago when that Ancestor used so many female Elders and even a few Grand Elders as his cauldron to improve his cultivation, while the other was around seventy thousand years ago when that Ancestor tried to defect to the wicked path after getting caught robbing half of the treasury, including a Legacy Artifact of their Burning Phoenix Ridge.

It was such a disgrace, but even if they were two Ancestors who could get away with anything, they were dealt a death blow by Ancestor Cornelia.
She was the revered guardian of their Burning Phoenix Ridge, garnering immense respect from the world, but most thought she was already dead because the last time she appeared in public was around thirty thousand years ago when she fended off the invasion from two wicked path powers, the Infernal Lightning Palace and the Blood Reaper Underworld.

Their Ancestors were at the same level as Ancestor Cornelia, but yet, as a magical beast, she had the prowess to fend off the both of them! Battling against two Peak-Level Ninth Stage Powerhouses and yet still living to tell the tale! She was just too powerful that he didn ’t dare be disrespectful to her!

Sect Master Lea Weiss was the same.
She had never seen Ancestor Cornelia before in her lifetime.
It was her first time meeting in the flesh.
However, she had already heard stories and possessed immense respect for this person, and looking at her suppress Ancestor Reinhardt Weiss like it was nothing, the reverence increase manifold in her heart.

She slightly raised her head, wanting to etch the face of Ancestor Cornelia in her heart, but the other party shot a look at her, her cold expression becoming gentle as if wanting to soothe her.

”… ”

Sect Master Lea Weiss ’s felt deeply honored.

Normally, people and even magical beasts who knew that they were going to die soon would be insane, but looking at her Ancestor Cornelia ’s genial smile, she knew that this Burning Phoenix had accepted her fate which is extremely commendable and honorable!
